I'm not even disappointed in missing the Alabama salt, this shit makes that look like nothing.

It doesn't matter what side of any issue you take, there will always be idiots arguing so poorly for their side that they actually turn people away.

sure but only one side has troons

I haven't really changed my mind. I've just become numb.

The repeal of NN is a statement of trust we as a nation extend to the affected corporations that I’m sure will be both appreciated and rewarded.

it's always funny when a pro-NN person says like 'yo do we really need this here it's like everywhere else' in a forum/subreddit about fucking cars or something and then proceeds to get nuked for wrongthink

Yeah, I'm pretty indifferent about this whole net neutrality repeal myself.

 

[Black Waltz]

I don't give a shit either

 

[Curt Sibling]

Like all the other doomsday laws that have been passed...Nothing changed. It's all sleight of hand bullshit.

Only live-with-mom activist fedoras are getting bothered about it.

 

[Yeeb-Renzo]

The best responce I could give this whole situation would be “we’ll see how good/bad it goes from here...”

Not "change my mind" per se, but often when there's a huge backlash against these sorts of issues I'm generally more interested in the other side of things since all I ever hear is the vast and vocal majority. It's not be contrarian, but these bandwagon type of uproars often make the other side out to be evil mustache twirlers who are doing it for the sake of causing other people misery, which obviously isn't a fair representation.

I have a friend, bless his heart, who off and on "trolls" (if you can even call it that) on Reddit by trying to see how much wrongthink he can get away with by slowly ramping it up to outright disagreeing with people. It's more of an experiment, really. He made a post that wasn't even pro or anti-NN. Hell, it wasn't even neutral. It was just along the lines off "What's with all this 'Net Neutrality' stuff? It's everywhere like it's all being posted by spam bots" and got downvoted upwards of two or three hundred times just because he acted like he didn't know what was going on.

I'm looking for balanced arguments now, because all this gloom-and-doom I'm reading up on everywhere (about said repeal, of course.) is actively starting to piss me off, now, due to baseless assumptions, fear-mongering, missing the point completely, and other such BS.

I get why repealing something without tackling the real issue is bad (hello ACA, and now THIS), but what is truly being done to fix this issue that isn't whining and crying from all sides about "not being able to post on social media anymore" - something that would actually be a benefit if it gets people (again, from all sides!) off their asses to do something for real, actually.

My only disappointment is I won't be able to come here anymore after some troon pays Verizon $12 to block the website, but other than that I don't give a shit and am happy to watch the world burn.
Besides I have markov chain bots to keep me company:

You're all obsolete to me.

 

[HG 400]

I always wanted it repealed because I hate America and want Americans to suffer.

That's pretty backwards, without the internet how are BLM gonna plan riots now?

Worldstar and twitter won't be affected by throttling.

 

[Fleeb]

A clever graphic showing how much plans would cost changed my mind. Why would someone go through the work in creating that if they weren't totally informed

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

I care about the full uncut view of whats in your avatar more than a I do about NN at this point.

People don't understand what net neutrality is, your cable provider is not going to make you pay $20 a month for access to EDF or hotzoophiliavids.net or the Rick and Morty Fan Fiction Wiki, that cost gets shuffled onto the websites. It'll mainly affect websites that are in direct competition to services provided by your ISP (Comcast owns a chunk of Hulu so they'll probably throttle things like Netflix and YouTube). This being said it does give them greater leeway for political throttling too. Kiwi Farms accounts for mostly insignificant bandwith on its own but if the ISP just decides it's too offensive and wants to block it (which has happened before) they could just throttle everyones connection to the site until it becomes unusable.

Ultimately the people who will be most affected by this are artists and content creators, since ISPs would be pissy about websites that feature significant amounts of fair use copyright material, as well as startups who intend to provide an alternative to the monopolies on the internet like Discord.
